  • Title: A phytobezoar in the acute abdomen.
    Author: Kvitting JP, Andersson P, Druvefors P.
    Journal: Am J Surg; 2009 Feb; 197(2):e21-2. PubMed ID: 18789409.
    Abstract:
    A phytobezoar is a rare differential diagnosis in the acute abdomen. An 89-year-old woman presented with lower abdominal pain. A computed tomography scan and ultrasound suggested the presence of a bezoar. A phytobezoar was extracted surgically, and a resection was performed of the perforated small bowel segment. The etiology and management of phytobezoars are discussed.
